Today was an okay day. I wish I could have gotten more exercise in but Im not at home so I couldnt go to the gym. So I ran around my friends neighborhood instead but it started raining. I got 35 minutes in before it rained.

Trail mix granola bar

Turkey sandwich on double fiber break with a slice of smoked gouda cheese and dijon mustard

I didnt work out on Sunday, I had too much to do =[

So I started my day off trying to eat healthy. but then i got hungry at work and i didnt have time to bring food from home so i bought a sandwich that ended up being wayyyy to many calories so i went over my limit =[

breakfast- scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and a tortilla

lunch-peanut butter and jelly sandwich on double fiber bread and greek yogurt

dinner- prosciutto mozzarella and tomato sandwich- ended up being six hundred calories ahh

beer

so i ended up with 1,809 calories. no bueno =[

I was tired from work so i only worked off 332 calories

Wednesday was a little chaotic. I went up to LA for the day so it was hard for me to eat healthily at the places we went to. But i tried. I’m finding it really hard to reach my goal of protein each day. thats something ill have to work on

What I ate:

Breakfast- the rest of my pad thai

Lunch- chicken salad at this korean fried chicken place

Dinner- chicken soup with beans and onions

three glasses of white wine and a cranberry and vodka

Calories- 1,569

I’m barely staying under my calorie limit. =[

I didnt have any chance to work out this day either

FAIL

sooo im kinda behind on updating it. had a bit of a crazy week. I tried to eat fairly healthy but then i ended up drinking and that adds on sooo many calories =[. I think drinking is something that I really need to cut down on especially this summer if I want to lose weight.

What I ate:

Breakfast - vanilla almond milk and rice krispies cereal

Lunch- 2 slices of Orowheat double fiber bread with roasted turkey breast, a slice of smoked gouda cheese and dijon mustard.

Dinner- chicken pad thai and a glass of cran- raspberry juice

2 shots of vodka and 2 natural light beers (402 calories! ah)

Total: 1,587 calories.

I didnt have a lot of time to work out but I jumped on the treadmill and burned 412 calories. so i basically only burned off my alcohol intake. =[ this is going to be harder than i thought but i can do it!

Day One: May 10th

One Day at a Time.

I really like food; working out is not the problem for me. I enjoy working out because it releases all this negative energy and calms me down after a stressful day. I also enjoy eating Mcdonalds because it releases all this negative energy and calms me down after a stressful day. I eat fast food and unhealthy food way too much, but I also workout so it cancels out the worry of weight gain. But, putting all this unhealthy food is bad for my body still. I need to find a good balance. No, I am not going to give up my Mcdonalds or Carl’s Jr. completely, because that would suck. I think everyone deserves to enjoy a doughnut. I am just going to cut back on my fast food and eat healthier foods…

Meals:

Breakfast: Two pieces of toast with butter, three scrambled eggs, an apple, glass of water

Lunch: Ham sandwich with pickles, pretzels, water

Dinner: Pita Pit, Diet Dr. Pepper

Late night snack: cantaloupe

Workout:

I burned a total of 845 calories between 5 minutes on the elliptical, 30 minutes on the treadmill, and 30 minutes of cycling.   I lifted some weights for like five minutes and did an ab workout/stretched for like 15 minutes. I need to focus more on weights and ab workouts because I do too much cardio.

Day Two: May 11th

Meals:

I woke up later so I missed breakfast which is bad, but whatever.

Lunch: Lean Cuisine Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with Broccoli and Edemame and an apple with a glass of water

Snack: Banana and a chocolate bar and a diet pepsi (bad but whatever)

Dinner: Quesadilla and edemame and a glass of water

Thirsty: Diet Mt. Dew

Brigid (one of my roommates) asked if I wanted to go to In and Out and it was really hard to say no. But I did. I was not even hungry, but usually I would have said yes. I can do this.

Workout:

Cycling: 11 minutes burned 154 calories

Treadmill: 10 minutes burned 120 calories

stretching/abs/lifted some weights

Turbo kickboxing: 40 minutes I am not really sure how many calories, but it was one of the best workouts I have had in a while
